Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed February 1, 1912.

Patented June 11, 1912.

Serial No. 674,771.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARIAN lVIILnwsKI, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Carmel, in the county of Putnam and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inTelephone-I-Iolders, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a telephone holder, and the primary object ofmy invention is to provide an adjustable holder that can be attached toa wall or other support for conveniently supporting a desk telephone,thereby obviating the necessity of holding the telephone in one handwhile the receiver is held in the other hand.

A further object of this invention is to accomplish the above results bya holder that is simple in construction, easy to adjust, durable andinexpensive to manufacture.

The principles of my invention are illustrated in the drawing, in whichFigure 1 is a side elevation of the tele phone holder, and Fig. 2 is aperspective view of a bracket forming part of the holder.

Further describing my invention with reference to the drawing, in whichlike numerals of reference denote like parts through out: 1 denotes aface plate secured to a wall 2 or other support by screws 3 or otherfastening means.

4 denotes a curved end of an arm 4 that is carried by the face plate 1,said arm being soldered or otherwise connected to the face plate. Thecurved end 4 of the arm 5 has eyes or hooks 6 for a cable 7 that contains the wires to establish a telephone connection. The opposite end ofthe arm 5 is flattened, as at 8 and provided with thumb screws 9.

1O denotes a T-shaped bracket having the stem thereof provided with alongitudinal slot 11 through which extend the thumb screws 9, said thumbscrews adjustably holding the bracket relatively to the arm 5. The headof the bracket 10 has a longitudinal slot 12 and extending through saidslot are thumb screws 13 that adjustably hold a bar 14 in engagementwith the head of the bracket 10.

15 denotes clamps riveted or otherwise connected to the bar 14, saidclamps having screws 16 whereby the clamps can be mounted upon thepedestal 17 of a telephone 18.

The arrangement just described constitutes the primary feature of myinvention and in many cases this device without further addition can beused for supporting other devices than a telephone, as for instance, ashaving mirror.

It is thought that the adjustment of the holder is obvious, and while inthe drawing, there is illustrated a preferred. embodiment of theinvention, it is to be understood that the structural elements aresusceptible to such variations as fall within the scope of the appendedclaim.

Vhat I claim is A holder for the purposes set forth comprising a faceplate, an arm projecting therefrom and having its outer end ofiset andflattened, a T-shaped bracket having the stem thereof longitudinallyslotted and positioned against the flattened portion of said arm, aplurality of thumb screws for adjustably connecting the slotted stem ofsaid bracket to the flattened portion of said arm, said bracket havingits head provided with a slot extending in the direction of its length,a bar positioned against one side of said bracket, a plurality of thumbscrews extending through the slot of the head and engaging in said barfor adjustably connecting it to the bracket, said bar of less lengththan the length of the head, a clamping member projecting from the upperand lower ends of said bar, and clamping screws extending through thefree ends of said clamping members for securing these latter around anobject.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of twoWitnesses.
